Family - October 2007

my daughters father only see's her everyother weekend. Well i shouldn't even say that, because when he is suposed to be with her, he goes hunting, works, or is at the bar. i dont understand it! ask him if its really that importaint to do those things when he is suposed to be spending time with her, he never says anything..im getting sick of my daughter asking me why she doesn't get to see him, and when is he comming..just reciently she asked me if her dad could move in so she could see him everyday. i understand that we live an hour apart, so its impossible to see her everyday.....but if he had full custody of her i would make it a point to see her at least 2 days a week and i would take her everyweekend!!! do men and women just think differently about the time they spend with there kids???

Do u agree with me that grandmoms would have taught them better values of life with great love....and now they are learning what ever they want because we have left them alone in the race of earning more and more..... which has no end.So teen agers have restless lives( most of them)

I have three younger brothers and my parent's both make pretty good money. Going through high school my parent's pressured me to try and get scholarships.. (I was a really good runner). But I got really sick my junior and senior year and finished high school with a 3.6 and honors, and did recieve scholarships, but by no means recieved the 'full ride' my parent's were hoping for.
I attended a private school freshman year, my parents signed many loans in my name.They never saved for my tuition.
I got married the summer of my sophomore year.
we had a simple service with my immediate family and my father married us. My husband and I wanted a "real' wedding in a year or two; but as time went on my parent's did not have the money so we bargained and asked for my tuition for three years of college. My parents and my grandparents helped with comm. college, but will not help with 3rd and 4th. I am paying for my schooling.

I know it is debatable, but should i be angery with my parents?

He is 19 and i am 21. He has got a large family and is very close to his parents. More like the spoilt brat, he gets all the attention, love and care from his family. He is a so called 'momma boy'.
I on the other hand have a completely different background. Mom died when i was 10. Dad never interested in sharing, caring or loving. I have always been ignored. Got no relatives. I have a brother who is 14. Most of time i am alone and feel the need of someone. My so called bf on the other hand is busy with his large family and has almost no time for me. I am the least prority for him specially when it comes to his family.
I have had a bad childhood and am very susceptible to depression. I miss having a nice family and feel very alone.
I am very lonely. Pls tell me if this relationship can be worked upon? Do i need to spend my time in this relationship? Should i find someone like me who doesnt have a big family and can understand me?
Pls help me with your opnions. I am distressed.

My partner's grandma died this morning. He was on business when it happened and is flying to his hometown this afternoon. Anyway, I got a text from him this morning saying that his grandma died and he is flying there today. We knew she was sick for a while, so it doesn't come as a huge surprise (i.e. she wasn't doing so well in her final days).

How do I help him cope with this over the phone, since I won't see my partner until next week after the funeral? He wasn't especially close to her--only saw her once a year--but he said his dad is going to have a hard time with the loss, so he'll have to be there for his dad.

My girlfriend (19) was visiting her sister(23) and her roommates a few weeks ago. They occasionally play argue, and were calling names and such while chatting with the two roommates. My girl was lying on the floor and easily threw a small weighted ball onto the couch at her sister. Her sis threw it back and hit my girl in the tummy. She threw it back harder at her sister, hititng her this time. Her sis then jumped up and kicked her hard in the stomach. My girl has a very strong belly, but she said the kick was high just below the ribs and knocked the wind out of her. She wanted to chase after her sis and finish the fight, but she said she could not uncurl from holding her belly for a full minute. An hour later when she left, she could still feel the heel in the pit of her stomach.

Both are from a peaceful, loving home. They get along quite well. Is this normal for girls, especially sisters?

I am shocked she hurt her so badly! She usually has such strong abs... http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i175/gsc_floydfan/Image044.jpg

I told my mom that I can’t keep paying all the rent and the late charges. I told her I can pay $650 a month (which is MORE THAN HALF) & that’s it because I can’t keep giving 95% of my salary to rent and not pay my own personal bills & take care of myself. She didn’t respond (this was over im) so I called her & she would not pick up the phone. She was like the issue w/ her & my sister’s dad is none of my business (but yet she is telling me that he is going to buy a new Ford F250), I’m like if he has money for that, then he has money to give you more child support (he makes of 200k a yr). So in essence she was telling me to mind my business, that the situation w/ her & my sister’s dad is none of my business. She also said that until last year she was paying the majority of the bills. I said that’s true but still 95% of what I made was going to those bills so for me, I don’t see me getting a break. No my mom is not on drugs or alcohol. I make after taxes a little over $1400 a month & 1300 of it is going to rent & feeding her & my sis. I barely have enough for transit to work & school, and I owe the school like $350 and if I don’t pay they wont let me register for Jan classes. What should I do? Am I right to pay only $650 or should I just keep giving her my entire salary?

Father in law emptied out bank accounts illegally (son was left everything and is exector of will) we cannot afford constant legal battles. Can we have father arrested for this? Mother in law knew this might happen....hence why she didn't leave her spouse anything. This is in georgia.

im a 17 year old girl
few years ago, my grandma(lived with for about 13 years) asked me if i did anything else that she doesn't know because at that time, she found out that i was working out at the gym without her permission i was 13 or 14
this comes to my mind now and ive been always(most of the times) guilty about masturbating with bananas, objects, and rolled napkin
i think i told her that i did nothing else she doesn't know, maybe i didn't think about masturbating when i answered
what if i said no while knowing that i was masturbating, then is that lying?
should i tell her now?
i also masturbated without using these once a few weeks ago
do i have a serious obsessive compulsive disorder
my grandma is better than a mom to me
also i really don't want to tell her, but something always bothers me
i was underaged when this happened, so i feel that she has the right to know; however, she's a very religious, hygenic person and i think she's really against this stuff

My mom,whenever she has a "new"friend seems to take that friend over family. My son turned 7 monday and she never called to tell him happy birthday,she hasn't called me in 3 days and won't either. When I call her I feel so strange,like we are strangers. I don't know what to say to her. She atarted going to church and everything is just that,she only speaks to my oldest daughter who is 10 because she wants to take her to church,I have nothing against church. I however hate this feeling of lonliness I am getting from her. She came here for thanksgiving and left right after eating,she left right from the table,people were still sitting. I am feeling used,and I have told her this,she of course denies it. Ever since she started with this church she is not the same towards me.

I believe in past lives and ghosts and she said the church says that people who deal in that belief are corrupted. She called me corrupted,and really tried denying she said that.

My child has always found it difficult to fall asleep, even when still a baby. Once asleep - no problems, but put her to bed at 7 or 8 and she's still chatting to herself or singing till 9pm or so. It wouldn't be a problem but she is still tired during the day and I'm sure it's affecting her learning at school, not to mention her mood.

We have had a bedtime routine all her life, including story in bed and cuddle time. It's not an unwillingness to go to bed, just seems to take her such a long time to fall asleep. Her father is also a bit of an insomniac.

Does anyone have any sensible and realistic suggestions?

Who did you typically agree with most, or when you got into trouble, which person was most often on your side or more lenient with you?

With me, it is my mom all the way, but my dad and I have a decent relationship (we used to not have on before).

I worked at one while in highschool. It was amazing how many of these people never had any family members come to visit them, ever. I had one veteran tell me the nursing home was more of a nightmare than war, he felt he lost his freedom and his family cared more about money then him.

Why are we sending our loved ones to these lonely hell holes?

Many of these people still would have been fine living alone, but the familys wanted to just deal with it at a convinent time for them and sell the "real estate" while the market was hot.

Before you put a loved one in a nursing home, make sure you spend a few nights there yourself and listen to the people who are ressidnets.

I still don't like the concept of nursing homes, most of those people could be with their familes yet.

Having worked at one, I know staff tried the best to take care of them, but i had co-workers who admited to stealing/abusing resisdents they did not like.

Why are nursing homes such a popular option?

Earlier this week I asked was I wrong for taking my kids from my step father while he babysitted with his new girlfriend over. My mom had only been dead 3 weeks. Ok today 10-18 will make 4 weeks since my mom passing. My step father has went and bought a excalaid and traded my mom's suv. On top of that he picked his lady frind up from work which is next door to my job. Why isn't he giving me any respect? I am an only child, so I have no one beside my husband and 2 yound daughter to talk with about this situation. Can anyone shed some light. I am very very torn apart. Now I begin to wonder about this preacher.

Is it fair that my husband got mad at me in front of my family for spending $65.00 on a fruit basket. We recently had a baby so he feels that any extra money should go towards our kids. I was just trying to make our house look pretty and he doesn't think to buy stuff like this.

Ok well I have had this diary for 3 years now. I haven't written in it much and there is only one thing I regret ever righting in there. Well two years ago my mom died in a car crash. I was angry, confused, hurt, and stupid so I wrote this: "Ug I hate Derek (my brother)! HE IS THE WHOLE REASON WHY MOM DIED! If only he didn't need to be picked up from his stupid running class mom would still be alive! I HATE HIM!! I will never forgive him!" He unfortunately read that. We have been best friends since a month after my mom died because we moved from place to place, country to country, always having problems with paying for things, so we relied on each other being the older siblings (I am now 16 he is now 18). Now he is locked in his room, and won't talk to me. I don't care that he read my diary so much it is just I feel so stupid! How could I do that! He won't open his door? How can I talk to him. I can't get my Dad he is at church with my other 2 sisters. What should I do??
